You know, when I initially look for records, I don't look for them by race, they weren't always included in the records. On top of that, some of the census records have family members listed under different categories, so my strategy is to first look for the name, then narrow it down using other criteria if there are way too many; but on FamilySearch, I mostly look through all of the Results since their filters seem much better than Ancestry, and they catch more of those bad spelling variations.
